Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Roundtable Recaps with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina, Katie and Tony. This week we are back to recap all the important parts of the first 3 episodes of MTV's The Challenge All Stars 5: Rivals. We are back this season with a whole new recap format and we hope this leaves more room for you, as the listener, to get involved with our recaps and social media content. We are also hoping that changing up our format will bring a freshness to your ears and our minds. Kicking things off we catch up for about 5 minutes and then Rick explains our new format, how it's going to work and how you (the listener) can get involved! We start the recap around 8 minutes in with our first segment where we debate the best and worth Rival pairings and how we are feeling about co-ed teams playing against non-co-ed teams. Around 26 minutes we move into Segment 2 and discuss the opening daily challenge on episode 1 and whether or not it was a good way to open a Rivals themed season. For segment 3 we move into episode 2 and discuss the daily challenge including which teams shocked us the most, whether or not this is the worst daily in history and should there be guaranteed incentive to come in first place mixed with a penalty of some sort for coming in last? From there we move on to segment 4 where we discuss the first eliminaton of the season with Adam and Steve VS Beth and Jonna in a recreated elimination we first saw Bananas and Theo compete in on The Challenge 40, with minor adjustments. Then we move into the Sylvia VS Kellyanne fight that closed out episode 2 and discuss who was in the wrong (if anyone), our thoughts on the dogs vs kids discussion and we also spill some tea from Frank's IG Live right after episode 3. Finally for our last few segments, we break down episode 3 starting with the daily challenge and whether or not the obstacle course was difficult enough, how we felt about the second elimination of the season with Adam and Steve taking out Sylvia and Kellyanne in a strength based elimination and of course, we had to debate the Ashley Mitchell VS Aneesa argument that was given to us at the end of episode 3 including how we think Aneesa would have handled the situation if the roles were reversed. We finally close out the show with our MVP (this might be the first time in history that we've all agreed on an MVP), overall season grade thus far and last minute thoughts.

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challengers Unplugged with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick , Corrina, and Katie. This week we are joined for the 2nd Unplugged episode by Kyland Young and he gave us an extended interview going into depth over The Challenge season 40 Battle of the Eras. We kick off by discussing the turmoil in Los Angeles, visiting Tiffany Mitchell in Michigan and what Kyland's original reaction was when he saw who he would be competing against on The Challenge 40. We break into the season by discussing how his gameplan changed once his entire alliance was gone, how he got so close with Michele and what made Kyland feel terrible about Horacio's controversial elimination against Derrick Kosinski. We also discuss Jenny's incorrect puzzle board in the final daily challenge, what Kyland's favorite daily was, his scariest moment throughout the season, who shocked him the most with their intelligence and why does Big Brother typically do so much better in the house mentally than contestants from other shows? We also discuss unaired weekend activities, who Kyland would like to see come over to The Challenge from Big Brother, which men made him a little nervous and why, plus so much more! Don't miss this awesome interview with Kyland and keep an eye out for our future episodes!Kyland Young IG: https://www.instagram.com/kylandyoung/Kyland Young YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEQIzkX-jFkAnother Hysterical Moment In Challenge History FB Group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/ahmichChallenge Fandom Podcast YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@thechallengefandompodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠Challenge Fandom Podcast TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@challengefandompod⁠⁠⁠⁠Challenge Fandom Podcast IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/challengefandompodcast/⁠⁠⁠⁠

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challengers Unplugged where we go beyond the edit with your favorite Challengers. This week our host team consists of Rick, Corrina, Katie and Alexis to sit down for our 3rd interview with none other than Tori Deal! We were so excited to have Tori as our first three-peat guest and she gave eveything! We kick off the episode with a little catching up and then break into conversation about her and Devin's friendship and how, as his bestie, she's been feeling about his relationship with Michele. We also discuss how she navigated this season with Josh considering she was working with the vacation alliance but also came into this season with blood on her resume from Challenge USA 2. Tori walks us through her decisions to battle against one of the biggest forces in the game, how it effected the season for her and what she would do differently, if anything! We also discuss her recent venture with fostering kittens and the Burger King prize money donation matches she is currently running (check links below if you'd like to participate). We also ask Tori to explain her choice in Jordan for being the GOAT, what the context was around her and Cara's reconciliation conversation, what the rules to the elimination with her and Cara were and did Tori feel like she would have performed in the final better had she not gotten that elimination the night before? We also discuss her favorite daily to win, what dinner was like on The Sinnister and of course we touch on all the updates for Tori's books and live events.
